Description
Queen : The Miracle A1/B2
This first pressing plays to a fantastic standard and has clearly hardly ever been on a turntable such is the sonic quality. S1 plays beautifully with no interference and S2 only has a couple of light ticks which cannot be classified as clicks! This is without doubt one of the most impressive versions of this album that you will ever find.
The cover and lyric inner are also in amazing condition.

Play grading
S1 quite simply plays 'as new' the sonic quality on every track could not be any stronger. As I always do I have listened to every track in full and there is just no interference of any kind.
'Breakthru' on S2 has an intro that regularly plays with some 'background' but this is one of the 'cleanest' you will find. With only a handful of barely audible dust ticks and one light tick (not a click!) the clarity is stunning and it then proceeds to play with Mint quality audio. 'Rain Must Fall' plays with stunning precision apart from a couple of gentle ticks and the remainder of the side is also faultless. This version of 'Scandal' is 100% stunning and even the quiet intro has no 'background' which makes a change! 'Was It All Worth It' is a powerhouse of a track and ends the album in sublime style with no interference and great errr power! No distortion either which is a rarity.
Visual grading
This is such a clean vinyl and still has a jet-black glossy sheen. I would say only played once or twice judging by only one faint spindle trace on the S1 label and the audio quality. There are no marks or scratches and only a handful of very faint barely visible hairlines. A superb example.
The Cover
This iconic cover is often found in poor condition but I am delighted to say this one is in superb condition! The only wear, if you can call it that, is a mega small crease on the top right corner. It is so clean and the edges, spine and opening edge have no wear at all plus the front and back cover have no marking either. So close to being Mint I will grade as Mint- just to be on the safe side!
The Lyric Inner
Now this is in perfect condition, a stunning example with no wear.
The Labels
They are in wonderful condition with no marking or writing and only one very faint spindle trace on the S1 label.
